I don’t think the glossy coating from the pages of magazines like J-14, Teen Beat and Bop have completely washed off my hands. Worse, I think I still remember their smell!

Growing up gay in the ’90s was difficult for a number of reasons – mostly because technology couldn’t bring porn to your bedroom on demand yet and substantial gay characters were still laughingstock and barely featured in film and television. If you wanted to make googly eyes at attractive men in your age category without the fear of getting found out, you purchased magazines like the ones listed above and pretended you were looking at the girls’ pictures.
